Chapter 16 Influence

Chen Mo remembered what Bruce Ferrez said again. In addition to ability, reputation and exposure are also very important in the draft.

I can only say that Chen Mo is a little lucky. The top ten Pacific Ocean is not bad in competitiveness and has a very high attention.

UCLA, especially, is located in Los Angeles, and naturally has a lot of attention.

Of course, this is just a warm-up match, and the opponent is even the bottom team, Chen Mo's path has just begun.

However, the tragic thing is that on October 30, Yao Ming appeared in the NBA.

0 points, 2 rebounds, 2 turnovers, 3 fouls.

Yao Ming was a little nervous on the court, and more importantly, he could not find the rhythm at all and was not adapted to the team's playing style.

This is the sequelae of not being able to work with the team during the offseason, and they are all exposed in this game.

Before the game, the American audience was looking forward to Yao Ming's performance, so how disappointed they are now.

Fortunately, the audience was, but the hosts of major TV stations were even more eager to criticize them for the sake of ratings.

And Chen Mo was also tragically affected.

UCLA News: Did you see the stupid performance of the top scorer in China? But are we cheering for another Chinese?

As for UCLA, there have been many doubts, especially Coach Steve’s reuse of Chen Mo.

"Oh, that Chinese will start? My God, where is Cummings? Where is Lei Yang?"

"Steve has proven that he is a fool, and this is just another time."

"UCLA can no longer lose, the coaching staff can be dismissed."

...

Fortunately, Chen Mo's fame is only spread within UCLA, and even Los Angeles has not paid too much attention.

Otherwise, watching his news at this time will only be even more overwhelming.

"Chen, are you okay? Don't listen to those idiots."

"Coach Steve, don't worry, I'm fine."

"real?"

"Of course, their scolding me means that more people have known me, which is a good thing for my draft."

Coach Steve was stunned and thought about it carefully, this was really true.

There are not enough topics and high enough attention, so where can there be scouts to pay attention to him?

Without scout reports, how would NBA teams choose him in the draft?

"Can you still understand this way?"

Although this theory is correct, Coach Steve always feels strange.

Well, that's not the point, the focus is on the next game against the University of Missouri.

Although it is just a warm-up match, but with the grudges from last season, the attention of this game is not low at all.

On November 3, the Poly Garden Arena was filled with tens of thousands of seats.

Although it is just a warm-up match and although it is only the beginning of the new season, the atmosphere of UCLA has begun to be popular.

The school has indeed had experience and came up with a fight of revenge, which mobilized the audience's enthusiasm at the beginning of the season.

At this time, the Poly Garden Arena had turned into a blue ocean, and there were cheers in the arena.

“UCLA,UCLA…”

If Chen Mo used the tsunami to describe the atmosphere of the stadium in the last game, it was a bit exaggerated.

So today, that is the real feeling of tsunami and tsunami. It seems that every time you shout, you can feel the tremor of the stadium.

"Wow, UCLA's revenge battle, I just don't know if they can succeed?"

"I don't think the chance is great. Although Missouri lost Karimrush, they still have Travin and Ricci... They can stand up and finish the game.

But what about UCLA? They can only rely on Capono's three-pointer, but without Dan, who will cover him?"

"I heard that UCLA has a very good newcomer this year, like our No. 1 pick, from China."

"It's really good. I beat up players in the second division. Do you believe it or not? I can find countless such players in the NCAA."

...

Not only was the lively scene, but the TV station was also broadcasting, while the host was always creating topics.

In addition to those hosts who created topics, the audience on site were also actively discussing.

"The starting list is out, that Chen is really the starting lineup."

"Oh my god, Steve's brain is broken."

"Okay, Chen performed well in the last game."

"But that Chinese top scorer messed up everything."

"Brother, the matter of the top scorer in China has nothing to do with Chen. We need to see his performance with our own eyes. Can we?"

...

Chen Mo naturally knew nothing about all this. He was making the final preparations and the game was about to begin.

Capono suddenly came over and said, "Chen, you are very strong, don't think too much.

Although I don’t want to admit it, I still have to say that you are no worse than me now.”

Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled. You know, Capono has always been so proud that he refused to admit it.

Even if it is compared, he and Chen Mo were always compared in that first grade, not now.

"I know!"

"Yeah, you..."

Hearing this, Capono didn't want to speak for a moment. What do you know?

Fortunately, the game began soon, and the referee had asked the players to enter the court, and Chen Mo stepped onto the court again.

If the last game was just a slight test, then now is the real beginning.

Today, Chen Mo played in the No. 2 position today, and his position is still uncertain at the No. 2 and No. 3 position. Thompson and Capono are on the front line, Cyderick is the point guard, and Michael is the center.

In fact, during training, Hollins has gradually replaced Michael's starting position.

But it seems that he still needs to adapt to it in the last game, so today he is still the starter of Michael Fei.

"Hey, did you see the performance of that stupid guy a few days ago?"

“What?”

"The lucky boy, but he has just played a game and the newspaper has paid attention to him.

I don’t even need to take off my training suits for a small fish like the second-level league.”

Chen Mo finally understood, it turned out that this was a provocation.

But, why are you doing with Yao Ming? I am not very familiar with Yao Ming.

Well, Chen Mo is unilaterally familiar with Yao Ming. As for Yao Ming, I probably don’t know who he is.

"so what?"

Chen Mo remembers that this guy is called Bolding, the starting shooting guard at the University of Missouri.

When Bording heard Chen Mo's cold answer, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the rookie would dare to reply to trash talks?

As the game was about to begin, Bording didn't talk nonsense anymore. He wanted to teach this rookie a lesson with his actions.

Perhaps Chen Mo didn't expect that because of this little accident, he had been envied by many people.

It has been said that the NBA draft is not just about strength, but also about attention and fame.

Apart from those star players, it is too difficult for ordinary players to gain attention.

But Chen Mo was extremely relaxed to get all this, just because he and Yao Ming were from China.

Therefore, Chen Mo was not implicated by Yao Ming, but received great attention.

Although it is passive, Chen Mo has indeed benefited.
